Keto Paleo Tzatziki By The Nourished Caveman - A Keto Paleo Tzatziki recipe that is very close to the original Greek Tzatziki! Enjoy it as a side dish or as a condiment.

Keto Paleo Tzatziki

This Keto Paleo Tzatziki  is a variation on the traditional authentic Greek recipe. Aside for the coconut cream, I tried to keep the flavors and the preparation as close as possible to the original. Once all the flavors are blended together you will surprised to find how much similar to the original the taste will result.

It’s a great summer recipe: cool and refreshing, and nutritious at the same time.

A few tips to make this recipe as close as possible to the authentic Greek one:

  • Make sure your cucumber is well-drained after you grate it. If you don’t have time to drain it overnight, add a pinch of sea salt to it, let is sit in a sieve for 30 min and then squeeze it with a piece of cheesecloth to get as much water out as you can.
  • You might want to grate it in strips with the bigger side of your cheese grater or with the finer side  to get a finer texture. I like both ways.
  • If you make your tzatziki the day before the flavors will blend together and become smoother.
  • You can add chopped dill to this recipe, it is the traditional way, but I prefer it with either a tablespoon of fresh mint, finely chopped or just plain.

The bounty of cucumbers

Did you know that organic cucumbers contain a lot of important vitamins? Here is what  you get when you eat an organic cucumber: Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. Conventionally grown cucumbers are grown in often depleted soils, so get organic to get the maximum health benefits!

1 cup of cucumber slices contains only 16 calories and 3 grams of net carbs, making them a moderately low carb food.

Other interesting uses for cucumbers

You can boil a pot of water with cucumber slices for a facial steam bath which is soothing and relaxing, and will relieve intense stress.

You can rub a cut cucumber on your body for about 5 minutes before getting in your bikini and look instantly more toned.

Just slice a cucumber and add it to a pitcher of water in the fridge, for a refreshing zero calorie drink!

    Are you using fresh (raw) cucumbers or fermented cucumbers? In the picture, it looks like the homemade fermented ones…not the pickles in vinegar, but the ones from water and salt.
    Can you confirm which you use?
    Thanks!

      Sophie, those are fresh cucumbers, but it is an interesting idea to use fermented ones! To add probiotics to the recipe 🙂 I will try it!

    Thanks for the recipe. I would normally do a sour cream and solomon gundy dip but am trying to stay away from dairy.
    Will definitely try this maybe a little with the solomon gundy too.
    Note: Solomon Gundy is a Jamaican condiment which is pickled red herring, spicy and salty. really good….

    Hi, can you taste the coconut in this recipe?

      Hi Marie, you can barely taste it when you add lemon, garlic and salt! Of course you can experiment with different coconut milks to use the mildest flavor one!

        Hi Marie, I did not use molds, I just placed the whole recipe into a oven dish to cool down and then cut it onto 6 pieces. So the nutritional info is for 1/6th of the whole recipe. You can make it into any shape or size, but the recipe indicates that if you use those amounts of ingredients, and divide them by 6, you will get those macros. I hope this helps to explain it.
